Boulder Dash 2007: Green X Day 1
PBricker
| 1. | Trail to end, then cut corner to other trail down to the marsh. Across the stream, up to the knoll and down to it. | ||||||
| 2. | +03:00 | On line to the stream, but then I got turned around in the vegetation and noticed I was going NE instead of SE. Not good, especially since I didn't know if I had been doing it for 30 seconds or 2 minutes. Ended up at the marsh and end of stone wall, more than halfway to 3. Easy from there. But when I went to punch the button on my watch: no watch! Hence, no splits, and time lost here and below is just a guess. | |||||
| 3. | +03:00 | Back to the end of the stone wall to attack, but had trouble reading the map and missed it, probably left. 'Ended up in the flatish overgrown area between the marshes. Headed back up the hill, but didn't find it right away. | |||||
| 4. | +05:00 | This was the worst. Decided to go around the marsh to the left but ended up way left, thinking I was closer to the marsh than I was. Started hunting for it in the boulders north and a bit west of the control. Should have baled sooner. Finally relocated at the big marsh, and attacked from the knoll west of the control. | |||||
| 5. | A bit left of line to avoid some green, though it was pretty thick. Saw the boulders on the way, and spiked it. | ||||||
| 6. | Ran right of line and hit the little trail, which I took to the big trail to the bend. Then over the spur to the trail along the stream. West on the trail to the big boulders and attacked from just past there. Went right by the boulder I couldn't find for the life of me on Sunday. | ||||||
| 7. | Left of line to the second reentrant, then past the finger marsh with a red control in it and right to it. | ||||||
| 8. | A bit left of line to the trail, then southwest on the trail to the trail going north, attacking from the bend. Made this easy. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:30 | Attacked from bend in the trail just left of the line. Some hesitation as I got up towards the cliffs; it was a bit higher (or I was a bit lower) than I expected. | |||||
| 10. | To the road between the two water stops. Ran up to the northern water stop, and attacked from there. Pretty much followed the stream right to it. | ||||||
| 11. | Up the kidney shaped knoll right of line, then right of the big knoll hitting the ride and followed it to the boulder. | ||||||
| 12. | Pretty straight, then down the spur right to it. Confused by what I thought would be rocky ground but in fact was veg boundary. Didn't cost me though. | ||||||
| 13. | +00:45 | Aimed off to the right to the trail but thought the "copse" was he first bigger clump of trees on the knoll, so I cut in looking for the flag. And there was a flag a bit further which wasn't mine. Back to the trail and found it a bit further up. | |||||
